Your Server

Email Question?

I have a web site that I am soon to manage and the client has an OPT IN email newsletter database. Do you think its best to go with a third party host for this with a dedicated SMTP server or try and run batches from the regular host SMTP server? The have tried the later and have been getting about 40% bounced back email. I think its the server timing out. The database is Access, the list contains about 8000 records. The email is sent twice a month.

1. no...dont do that..it will create more complexity and trouble..get a fast n little expensive then you are going to use right now.. hosting service..will work...
2. get an Infacta Group mailer with the appropriate gateway for emailing yourself. However, the bounce backs could be because your domain has been identified as a spammer, or you have some bad emails. Some stale lists have a lot of bounces. First, get a free or inexpensive email verifying program, and try a batch. You can also get some reasonable email hosts who also have fresh leads that don't charge a lot of money.
